Lindsay and I have just stumbled upon what
we believe is one of the greatest health discoveries ever – at least in the
past 100 years! This health discovery
is called “Earthing”, developed by Clint Ober in 1998. Earthing is a way of bringing the
healing effects of being barefoot on the earth, indoors.
This explains to me why I always feel so
good when paddling barefoot on the beach when on holidays, and why gardening
has such a calming effect on me.
In the past, if I had a headache, I would take pills and lie down, which
had no effect, so I would get up and wander around the garden watering, and the
headache would lift! I never
understood this phenomenon until now.
The electrical contact between your body
and the earth (termed earthing or grounding) -- forms a connection for the flow
of energy from the earth to your body and conscious mind. This action allows a flow of free
electrons from the earth into your body.
It seems that shoes are our own worst
enemy, as rubber soles insulate us from the earth and positive electrons that
are in our 21st century homes build up and cause all kinds of
negative effects on our bodies.
The worst of this effects is INFLAMMATION! Just talk to anyone these days about health issues, and you
get sense that inflammation effects just about everybody! If you were to go outside on the lawn
barefoot for ten or twenty minutes when inflammation attacks, you will sense a
clear effect on your pain, mood and stress levels. As a “creationist”, I am reminded that we were formed from
the dust of the earth, so it makes sense to me that the earth should have a
positive effect on my body in some way. Note: Did you know that all 19 minerals found in our body
are also the 19 minerals that are found in the earth? (that’s for free). J
My first impression of this information was
not good, however, because I have some memories of “the New Agers” hugging
trees and “feeling the energy, dude!” from Mother Earth! But it seems now I have looked at it, that these guys may
have had something we (and they) didn’t fully understand, because science and
technology has proved it to have some credence!
Now, back to Clint Ober. The earthing institute documents the
scientific validation which began with Clint Ober's
initial question in 1998 of whether direct connection with the Earth could have
an impact on health and whether separation from the Earth―such as by wearing
insulative shoes―could contribute to unwellness.
The research that followed has produced
fascinating evidence demonstrating that Earthing generates a powerful and
positive shift in the electrical state of the body and restores natural
self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms.
We know that Earthing allows a transfer of
electrons (the Earth’s natural, subtle energy) into the body. We know that
inflammation is caused by free radicals and that free radicals are neutralized
with electrons from any source. Electrons are the source of the neutralizing
power of antioxidants. Lindsay, being an electrician, understands all of this stuff!
In the Earthing studies, as well as the
feedback from thousands of individuals who have grounded themselves, there is consistent evidence of people whose pain was reduced. Such reduction of pain is
evidence (but not proof) that inflammation is reduced. However, the studies
point clearly in that direction. I, myself experienced a very swift elimination in pain in a part of my body when I earthed myself within 1 week!

Take a look at the information on Earthing, it will truly inspire you and give you hope and save you money! I will be putting up more blogs on this subject, you can count on it!
